有了这个奖项，化学部门正在支持努力 在课程发展方面， 51当前化学研究经验的研讨会 本科生（REU）网站董事和感兴趣的人从 基金会 将于2010年12月15日至16日在日内瓦举行的讲习班的目的是： 基金会在1990年9月19日至21日期间，是：1）讨论 化学研究在本科课程中的作用， 在学生的职业选择中，2）评估 本科教育REU计划，随后 研究生化学相关研究项目的入学人数， （3）制定具体的职业决策， 关于加强和提高联合国系统 REU计划和各个站点的运营，以及4） 制定战略，扩大 程序. 研讨会的具体成果将是：1）一份“白色文件” 该文件概述了讲习班的结论， 将在一定程度上为那些在基金会的人提供建议， 参与REU计划，2）一套REU指南 网站董事，和3）计划在未来的研讨会， 美国化学学会全国会议， 本科研究和REU计划。 这是预期的 讲习班的总体影响将是一种改进， 学生直接接触研究的机会， 选择从事研究工作的人数增加。

With this award, the Chemistry Division is supporting efforts in the area of curriculum development by sponsoring a two-day workshop for the 51 current chemistry Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) Site directors and interested persons from the Foundation. The aims of the workshop, to be held at the Foundation during September 19-21, 1990, are: 1) to discuss the role of chemistry research in the undergraduate curriculum and in the students' career choices, 2) to assess the impact of the REU Program on undergraduate education, on subsequent enrollment in graduate chemistry-related research programs and on ultimate career decisions, 3) to formulate specific proposals for the enhancement and increased effectiveness of the REU Program and the operation of individual sites, and 4) to develop strategies for expanding the visibility of the Program. The concrete results of the workshop will be 1) a "White Paper" summarizing the conclusions of the workshop, a document which will serve in part to advise those at the Foundation who are involved in the REU Program, 2) a set of guidelines for REU site directors, and 3) plans for a future symposium at a National Meeting of the American Chemical Society dealing with undergraduate research and the REU Program. It is anticiupated that the overall impact of the workshop will be an improvement in opportunities for direct student exposure to research and an increase in the number of people opting for research careers.
